Chapter Forty Five - A few months later
It had been several months since Adam's accident and his and Mandy's reunion. It hadn't been easy for the two of them because although they both loved each other there were outside influences that effected them. Mandy and Matt were still best of friends and on the show madly in love. Their 'relationship" on the show made Adam quite jealous at times as well as concerned. This is because he was worried that Mandy might leave him again for Matt, after all they were spending so much time together with work also the fact that Mandy was still living with Matt worried Adam. Deep down Adam knew that he and Mandy really needed to talk to each other about their relationship and things that were bothering him. He just had to choose the right time and place.
Jeff and Lily are still very happy together. They don't like being away from each other as they miss one another too much. They never tie of each other and they know everything there is to know about each other, everything except one thing. Lily was keep something from Jeff. She knew she had to tell him and soon.
Allie had been spending a lot of time with Mark lately because their sports team were in the top 5 and were playing a lot of home games. Over this time together they had developed a close bond and friendship. They started to spend more time together at work as well and occasionally they and Shane all went out to dinner together. Shane thought it was good that Allie had become good friends with Mark because he knew that she was safe when she went out to see her team play. However, he was starting to miss spending time with her. She was so busy with work and they rarely had the opportunity to spend a quiet night in together.
After talking through there problems, Adam decided to ask Mandy to move in with him. He'd been thinking about it for a while now and thought it would bring them closer together and allow them to spend more time together. He only hoped that Mandy would agree. Straight after the show Adam headed to Mandy's locker room. He knocked on the door once before entering. Mandy was standing before him only wearing a towel. Adam smiled and said,
"This reminds me of the first time I visited you at your apartment, before we started going out ... do you remember?"
"Do I remember? Of course I do. I ended up in hospital that night"
"Oh ... is that the only thing important about that night?" Adam asked
"No ... I remember I was going to have a quiet night in when I was interrupted by a tall blond ... can't really remember his name ... and we had a great time together ... before my fall"
"Mandy there is a point to this. I was wondering if you'd move in with me. We'd be able to spend more quality time together and enjoy simple things like waking up next to each other daily. So what do you say? Will you move in with me?"
"Oh Adam that sounds so good to me. I'd love to and I'm sure Matt will be glad to get his place back to himself."
"Excellent. How about we start moving some of your things tonight?"
"Ok sounds good to me," Mandy said before kissing him softly
"What was that for?" Adam asked curiously
"For never giving up on us"
Before leaving the arena to start packing Mandy rang up her friends to let them know the news. She tried ringing Allie but got her message bank so she left a message. Afterwards she rang Lily. Mandy only talked to her for a few minutes because Lily was expecting Jeff home shortly. Lily congratulated Mandy and Adam once more before hanging up.
Shortly after she did so, Jeff walked through the front door. He was surprised to see the table covered with their best tablecloth and cutlery. He put his bag down before walking to find lily. When he did he asked what the occasion was. She replied,
"I was just in the mood to celebrate ... and anyway we never use the good stuff because we haven't had people over in ages."
"Maybe we should do something about that ... how about we have the gang over for dinner next weekend or something ... if they aren't busy"
"That's a terrific idea but are you sure you'll be up to it?"
"Yeah I'll be fine. But thanks for asking"
Jeff and Lily then went and enjoyed their dinner together. They talked about all sorts of things including the show, work, Mandy and Adam moving in together and their dinner party they were going to have. After finished dinner Lily thought that it was as good a time as any to tell Jeff her secret. However, when she returned to the table after cleaning up she discovered that Jeff had left the table and headed off to bed. When she entered their room she found him fast asleep. She decided she'd have to wait till tomorrow to tell him the news.
The next morning Lily awoke to find Jeff missing from beside her. She got out of bed and grabbed her dressing gown before she searched the house looking for him. She head a noise coming from the spare bedroom so she headed here. She cautiously approached the door. She pushed it open and stood stunned at what she saw. Jeff heard the door open and turned around to face Lily. His face was all lit up and he had a huge smile on his face.
"Is this what you wanted to tell me about last night?" he asked
"Yeah it was. I've been wanting to tell you about it ... but I couldn't find an appropriate time."
"Oh Lily you know that you can always tell me anything."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
"Don't be ... I absolutely love it ... this must have been hard to keep a secret."
"Yeah it has been. How did you discover it?"
"I heard noise coming from in here earlier this morning so I came to check it out..."
"And that's when you found him"
"Yeah ... but what's his name?"
"I thought I'd let you decide"
"Cool ... how does Liger sound?"
"I love it."
Lily and Jeff spend the rest of the morning playing with Liger together.
